The first was:<BR/><BR/>"Hehe. That's pretty funny."<BR/><BR/>The next was:<BR/><BR/>Descartes took enough license with his "<I>Cogito ergo sum</I>" formulation in the first place, since he's trying to establish that he exists, but in the first word of his statement he proclaims the existence of a self. The man begged the question like a mofo!<BR/><BR/>And then I realized that neither response was probably worth posting.<BR/><BR/>So I posted both.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10417487829318519262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34420238.post-51838333081772960012008-07-21T06:43:00.000-05:002008-07-21T06:43:00.000-05:00Perhaps in this day, Rene would say"I blog, theref...Perhaps in this day, Rene would say<BR/><BR/>"I blog, therefore I am" ;-)dchmielewskinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34420238.post-8092602513249544752008-07-20T08:59:00.000-05:002008-07-20T08:59:00.000-05:00I probably didn't even need to take the quiz to kn...I probably didn't even need to take the quiz to know what it would say. I was expecting a higher "Dumb/Dork/Awkward" score, though.<BR/><BR/>The complication is this, as Dave points out:<BR/><BR/>Since I'm both a "Cool Nerd God" and an atheist, does that mean I don't believe in myself? And if I don't, is it just a matter of self-esteem or does it involve an existential crisis.<BR/><BR/>Reminds me of a joke. Rene Descartes is on an airplane and the flight attendant asks him, "Would you like something to drink?"<BR/>Descartes replies, "I think not," and disappears.<BR/><BR/>Bwahaha!Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10417487829318519262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34420238.post-24321571222480710242008-07-18T05:31:00.000-05:002008-07-18T05:31:00.000-05:00Odd that "God" would end up in your description of...Odd that "God" would end up in your description of Nerdliness.<BR/><BR/>But I don't believe that wierdness was ever in dispute ;-)dchmielewskinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34420238.post-14592711300603587502008-07-17T11:15:00.000-05:002008-07-17T11:15:00.000-05:00I hate to say this, CyDog, but was there ever any ...I hate to say this, CyDog, but was there ever any doubt?M.Fillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00979044418893867633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34420238.post-26098364353135545092008-07-16T22:49:00.000-05:002008-07-16T22:49:00.000-05:00Cool Nerd God...that, my friend, is pricelessCool Nerd God...<BR/>that, my friend, is <I>priceless</I>Nikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08768480909413882844noreply@blogger.com
